Whoever facing this, I have resolved this by creating a new user with sudo privileges. have tried it in 2 VMs with same spec.

Both triggered same error and after creating new sudo account , BOOM it worked.

brew install protobuf

run this cmd first

[lexburner]

the same problem, the protobuf is needed

sudo snap install protobuf

maybe this command should be added into the quick deployment script

[dapslegend]

#On Debian run Sudo apt-get install -y protobuf-compiler #verify install Protoc —version

#On Debian run Sudo apt-get install -y protobuf-compiler #verify install Protoc —version

install protoc success, it's libprotoc 3.6.1. But when I install nexus.xyz, it said

error: failed to run custom build command for nexus-network v0.4.0 (/root/.nexus/network-api/clients/cli)

Command 'protoc' NOT found, you need to install it. Get a pkg from https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases for your os and install it. Then you will fix it

I found the way. Just navigate to #111
